Since the fall of the Berlin Wall 30 years ago, Berlin has developed into one of the world's leading centers of gay culture and life, attracting artists and writers from around the globe.

Essays, poems, erotic stories, interviews, and many images. Contributions from Bernd Gaiser, Henning von Berg, Eva & Adele, Harald Hauswald, Jochen Hick, Anja Müller, Slava Mogutin, Michael Sollorz, Wieland Speck, Wolfgang Tillmans, and others.
